Question

Flu Shot Frenzy

Answer 1

For this case we look for the amount of pharmacists who reported on the highly inflated prices, making a rule of three:

677 ------------> 100%

x -----------------> 55%

Where x represents the amount of pharmacists who reported highly inflated prices.

$x = \frac {55 * 677} {100}\\x = 372.35$

Thus, approximately 373 pharmacists said that flu vaccine prices were highly inflated.

On the other hand, we make another rule of three to find the number of pharmacists who would not buy the vaccine at those prices:

373 --------> 100%

y ------------> 84%

Where y represents the amount of pharmacists who would not pay for the vaccine.

$y = \frac {84 * 373} {100}\\y = 313.32$

Thus, approximately 314 pharmacists would not pay for the vaccine.

Answer:

Approximately 314 pharmacists would not pay for the vaccine.
